ELECTRICAL TOY.

Specification of Letterslatent. 'Pzttented Oct.

Application filed November 10, 1916. Serial No. 130,636,

To all whom it may concern 7 Be it known that I, WILLIAM E; Weren't,

a subject of the King of Great Britain, re-

I employ a bell or other audible signal device,

a lamp and a push button connected in circuit with one another and a battery or other source of electrical energy, in combination with electric switches connected in the circuit in such manner that the bell, push button and battery may be connected in series, the lamp, push button and battery connected in series, or the bell, lamp, push button and battery connected in series. When the lastmentioned connections are made, the lamp will flicker during the operation of the bell and the bell and lamp will be energized to a less extent than when either one of the firstmentioned connections are made, thereby illustrating the cutting down of the current, owing to the series connections between the lamp and the bell.

The invention consists in the construction,

combination and arrangement of parts here-' inafter set forth in and falling within the scope of the claim.

In the accompanying drawing:

The figure is a diagrammatic plan view of a toy constructed in accordance with the present invention.

Referring now to the drawing in detail, 1 designates a base constructed of any suitable material, while 2 and 3 indicate respectively a push button and a bell mounted upon the base 1. Also arranged upon the base 1 is an electric lamp 4 and two point switches 5 and 6 and arranged adjacent to one end of the base are binding posts 7 connected with a battery 8 or other source of electrical energy by means of conductors 9. Leading from one of the binding posts 7 is a wire 10 connected with one side of the push button switch 2, while leading from the other side of the push button switch is a wire 11 terminally connected with the blade of the switch 5. Leading from one of the contact points of the switch 5 is a wire 12 which extends through the lamp 4 and .is

terminally connected with the blade ofthe 's'wltch 6, while leading from one of the contact points of the switch 6 is a wire 13 terminally connected to the other binding post 7. Also leading from the last-mentioned binding post 7 is a wire 14 terminally con nected with one side of the bell 3, while extending from the other side of the bell 3 to the remaining contact point of the switch 6 is a wire 15. The last-mentioned contact of the switch 6 is connected by way of a wire 16 to the other contact of the switch 5.

In practice, when the blade of the switch 5 is connected to the wire 12 and the blade of the switch 6 connected to the wire 13, the lamp 4 is connected in circuit with the battery 8 and when the push button switch 2 is closed, current flows from one side of the battery 8, through the wire 13, blade of the switch 6, the wire 12 and lamp 4, the blade of the switch 5, the wire 11, push button switch and the wire 10, back to the other 7 side of the battery. When the blade of the swltch 5 is connected to the wire 16 and the blade of the switch 6 is in neutral position,

the hell 3 is energized, current flowing from one side of-the battery 8, through the wire when the push button switch 2 is, closed, current flows from one side of the battery 8, through the wire 14, the bell 3, wire 15, the blade of the switch 6, wire 12 and lamp 4,

blade of the switch 5, wire 11, the push button switch 2 and the wire 10, back to the other side of the battery. When this connection is made, the lamp flickers incident to the operation of the bell and the bell and lamp are energized to a less extent than when the bell and lamp are energized singly, thereby illustrating the cutting down of the current incident to the series connection.

While I have herein shown and described the preferred form of my invention by way of illustration, I wish it to be understood that I do not limit or confine myself to the precise details of construction herein de scribed and delineated, as modification and variation may be made within the scope of the claim and without departing from the spirit of the invention.

I claim:

In a device of the class described, an electrically operated audilole signal, an electric lamp, a hand operated switch a source of electrical energy connected in circuit with said switch, lamp and signal, and two point switches connected in circuit with said first 10 switch lamp and signal in such manner that the lamp, the first switch and the source of energy may be connected in series, the signal, the first switch and the source of energy connected in series, and the first switch, the lamp, the signal and the source of energy connected in series, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature.

W. ELMER WRIGHT.
